CANNIBAL CORPSE Issues Post-SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND Update

August 21, 2006

CANNIBAL CORPSE has posted the following message on its official web site:

"We have just returned from the Sounds of the Underground tour, and we feel it was a great success. We would like to thank the entire crew on Sounds of the Underground for doing a great job and for keeping things running smoothly throughout the tour. We also want to say hello and thanks to all of the great bands we shared the stage with during the tour. Much thanks also goes out to our friends at Jagermeister Music for the great BBQ and for the meet and greets they hosted throughout the tour. Most importantly, we'd like to thank the fans who attended. The entire tour was one great audience after another, and we really appreciate that!

"Our immediate future plans are a tour in Australia in October, followed by a headlining tour of the USA in November and December. The other bands on the U.S. tour will be: DYING FETUS, NECROPHAGIST, and UNMERCIFUL.

"We would again like to thank everybody who came out to see us play this summer, and we hope to see the rest of you as the 'Death Walking Tour' continues!"

As previously reported, CANNIBAL CORPSE's video for the song "Death Walking Terror" has been posted online at Yahoo! Music. The track comes off "Kill", the band's 10th studio LP, which came out late March. The album debuted at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 6,000 copies in its first week. It was the second time in the band's career that one of its albums breached the mostly pop-friendly list; in 1996, "Vile" opened at No. 151, with more than 6,100 copies sold.

Regarding the band's song choice for the new video, CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster previously told MTV.com, "Every one of our songs has some kind of violent or dark imagery in it, but we have to look for songs that are a little less graphic. We only have a couple of songs on each record where the lyrics aren't more or less R-rated for violence. We have to carefully choose what songs we do videos for, because otherwise it won't make it passed the censors. The song 'Murder Worship', I think all of us would have liked to have done a video for that. But there's no way, with the decapitated heads and all."
